Part 3 of our MythBusters series: Myth 3: If it smells clean, it is clean Reality: Fragrance is not cleanliness.Covering odor doesn’t remove the source. Pet dander, body oils, food residues, and the fine soil you don’t see must be physically removed. I am not a fan of blasting deodorizer at the end. When deodorizers are needed, professionals apply them thoughtfully at the beginning and rinse them, rather than misting them like perfume. To put it plainly: Cleaning removes source materials; scent masks them.

Are you aware-after 15 years of painted cabinets being most popular-that the industry has shifted back to organic natural looks, with Alder, Rift cut oak and Hickory coming back into prominence once again?
